I made and used a head pusher tool, but that is little use once the studs have snapped. Better to use it before that happens.

Regarding anti seize (Plus Gas etc.) one of the best is a home mix of 50% transmission fluid & 50% acetone. Another hobby of mine is older speedboats & old Mercury outboards. Often the outboards are badly seized & I picked this tip up on a US forum, & its always worked well for me.

Satg Head Bolts Induction Heater
I have to take the heads off a Stag which has been in place at least thirty years.
I know there are lots of methods about, but I am considering using an induction heating coil before I even try with any force to remove the bolts.
Any one used an induction heater on a Stag head bolt?
Any tips, or why it will not work?
I was planning to remove nuts and dose with Plus Gas a couple of times a day over perhaps three days before I make any serious efforts to remove the studs.
Then heat to glowing with induction to try and crack free gently'ish, if no go then another plus gas and leave for 24 hours before heating to glowing and trying for real.
Is that a viable plan?
One day I will get to sort out my typing - particularly of "Stag"!
